“In Virginia, we uphold the rule of law without exception, whether dealing with violent repeat offenders, Big Pharma, fraudsters and scammers, or wildlife traffickers. This case sends a clear message that bad actors will not be tolerated in the commonwealth.”

Following his conviction, Antle will no longer be permitted to “work, own, possess, broker, buy, sell, trade, transfer, barter or donate any exotic animals” for at least five years, according to Miyares.
